LOCAL FEATURE: Platoon of Power Squadron Episodes 4-6

"The Platoon of Power Squadron", or PoPS, is about four strangers in their twenties who all ended up renting rooms in the same apartment. They've all been out of school for awhile, they all have dead end jobs, and they all have SUPER POWERS. In a world where supernatural abilities are limited to comic books and the silver screen, these four discontent, minimum wage workers are the only people with actual super powers. Now what the hell are they supposed to do with them?

Please join us for a screening of the fourth, fifth, and sixth episode of The Platoon of Power Squadron (PoPS), a Chicago-based original web series with an online audience of 35,000 subscribers and over 50,000 views per episode. The fifth episode concerns whether real life super powers serve a higher purpose. Donald (played by popular YouTube vlogger Craig Benzine, aka Wheezy Waiter) has finally begun making headlines as a masked crime fighter, but one rescue in particular has him certain he is following the path of fate. Jonas is convinced that Virginia and Donald's manipulation of time will have dire consequences. And Sebastian, the world's only multiplier, is still trying to come to terms with losing a large part of herself. When they suddenly learn that there are other super teams in Chicago, Donald sees it as another indication of their fate as a group, and another puzzle piece in discovering the origins of their powers. Part 5 was made with money donated to us by our audience via Kickstarter campaign. Catch the debut of episode 6 at the screening!
